January 2011 home sales in Mill Valley slipped to a mere 13. These trades sold for an average price of $1.125 million and averaged 2,356 sq. ft. (or about $504 per sq. ft.). The end of 2010 and first month of 2011 reflected a heightened sense of security from buyers of homes in the bread-and-butter Mill Valley price range of $1 million to $1.5 million. We had 7 such sales. The number of listings actively on the market in the MLS a very low 67 — most sellers took their homes off the market as Winter set in and many will return to market after President’s Day, increasing steadily through May or June. It will be interesting to see how sales play out in Q1 as it appears that bonuses for employees working in the San Francisco financial sector may spur bread-and-butter and luxury sales in our highly desirable city.
The percentage of homes in escrow:
- Under $800,000 — 47%
- $800,000 to $1 million — 43%
- $1 million to $1.5 million — 31%
- $1.5 million to $2 million — 19%
- Above $2 million — 9%
Listings in Middle Ridge and Strawberry generated the most calls this month.
